besan chilla

• 1 cup besan
  
  1 cup water
  
  2 tsp salt or to taste
  
  1/2 onion, sliced
  
  1 tsp chilli powder
  
  1 tsp ajwain
  
  1 green chilli - finely chopped
  
  1/2 cup methi leaves-finely chopped
  
  4 tsp oil for frying the chilla

Method:

Mix all the ingredients, except oil, to a thick pouring consistency, adding the water a little at a time. 

Leave to rest for 15-20 minutes. 

Heat a tbsp or so of oil in a frying pan, then pour it off into a container. 

Keeping the heat high pour some batter in the center of the pan, spreading it out a little. 

Lower the heat and let cook till the edges brown a little and can be lifted easily. 

Dribble a little oil around it, turning the pan so the oil goes under the cheela. 

Flip it over to cook slightly on the other side and before serving it hot with a green chutney
